Hani (Joy) dances the ancient Hawaiian Kahiko Hula.

The beautiful movements of her hands and body tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the Menehune Ohana (family).

Hani’s traditional Uli’ulis (feather gourds) add sound and excitement to her dance.

Her performance is a magnificent spectacle!

Tutu (grandmother) is Hani’s Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her the powerful movements of the Kahiko Hula.

Together, Tutu and Hani crafted the Ulu’ulis out of wood, bright red and yellow feathers. Tutu blessed the Ulu’ulis with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. They are sacred now. They were created for Hani and only she is allowed to touch them.

Tutu also hand crafted the traditional yellow hula skirt with a matching top and panties. Tutu wove yellow feather leis for Hani’s ankles.

In Hawaii the Hulu (feather) represents spiritual strength, unity and love. It is believed to link to the divine.

Last Tutu put 2 red Plumeria flowers in her hair.

All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

Hani is about 4” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. She was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.
